Gatorade will also be unveiling an all new #SweatMore campaign featuring Sindhu in a digital film that shows the brand’s close partnership with the athlete.

Gatorade India plans to have Sindhu work with the Gatorade Sports Science Institute during the period of the partnership, to better understand her training and match-day nutrition.

Talking about the partnership, Vipul Prakash, vice president-beverage category, PepsiCo India, "We are delighted to welcome Sindhu into the PepsiCo India family. We believe that Gatorade is the perfect fuel for PV Sindhu and we are happy to partner with her. Gatorade is a scientifically formulated sports drink that provides the right hydration and fueling during a strenuous game or a training session. PV Sindhu personifies the spirit of the brand through her determination and winning attitude.”

“There is no substitute for hard work. However, hard work comes with long hours of practice, persistence and perspiration. Each day throws a new challenge and you must be fit to take it head on. Gatorade helps athletes do just that. I am extremely honoured to join the Gatorade family of athletes which consists of sporting legends across the world,” added Sindhu.
